their late comrades who have answered
to the Call of the everlasting rolL
At Lincoln post hall the ladies of Lin
coln circle, of Fort Pillow circle and of
Relief Corps 71 met to arrange the
flowers to be forwarded to the cemetery
and the old soldiers climbed the stairs to
be met at the ton with a bright smile and
a cheery good itng that made them
feel good and glad that they were alive
on another decoration day. A button
hole bouquet was pinned on the lapel of
each grizzled veteran, and the Bons of
soldiers were not forgotten.
:-ixteeii large baskets of roses were
carried up the stairs which, with piles
on piles of evergreen and bundles on
bundles of daisies, the ladies made into
many pretty pieces to be set on the
graves of the dead. . The principal fea

AT THE CKMKTEKY.
Craves of Old Solitler CoTtrcd With a
Wealth of .Flowers.
The Topeka eenetery presented a
beautiful appearance this .morning with
all the loads of rlowers that the friends
of the dead brought to. place on the
graves as a remembrance. "
There were many sad sights there as
the relatives atd friends arranged the
floral tributes.
The rain of last night brightened up
the grass and Cowers considerably but
made it difficult to move about with
bedraggling one's clothes.
But the people did not mind that; they
were intent in decorating the graves
. At 10:30, committees arrived at the
cemetery headed by a detachment from
Battery B.
They marched to the square that is
owned by the Grand Army posts of the
city, where the regular decoration ritual
was read. Comrade W. IL Ward con
ducted the service, ana Chaplain G. E.
Duun offered prayer.
There is a monument in the center of
the square" on which is the following
iiiticrijption; "Honor the noble dead,
through whose sacrifices the nation
lives."
Comrade J. M. Miller stepped forward
and said:
"I scatter these flowers on this monu
ment in your name in honor of those who
died for our country. These flowers
will wither bat the love they represent
will always endure."
After this a salute of three rounds
was fired by Battery B, and after
the closing prayer by Chaplain Dunn,
the old soldiers decorated the graves
of their dead comrades. There were
several express wagon loads of flowers
for this purpose aud the graves were
made to look very pretty, indeed.
At noon today the decorating commit
tee and all those who took part in the
exercises were served a lunch at Lincoln

A Creditable Farnde Witnessed by a
Large Crowd of People.

secret societies took place.
At 2 o'clock the procession formed-on
Quincy street from where it march out
onto Kansas avenue, south to Tenth
street and countermarched to the corner
of Sixth and Quincy, where it disbanded,
and as many people as could crowded
into Hamilton hail to hear the other ex
ercises. The parade was led by Chief of Police
II. C. Lindsey, dressed in soldier uni
form, commanding a platoon of good
looking "coppers." The police commis
sioners, Messrs. Krauss, Yount and Whit
ing, followed the patrolmen marching on
foot with Sanitary Sergeant Hudson, and
followed by the patrol wagon, which was
gaily decorated with flags and flowers,
and carried a dozen or more little girls.
Chief Marshal Geo. W. Weed and staff
followed the police department. Then
came Marshall's military band discours
ing its best music.
Councilmon Holman, Stevens, Burgess
and Fellows rode in a carriage and rep
resented the city administration.
An important feature of the parade
was the tire department under the com
mand of Chief Wilmarth. All the hose
wagons and hook and ladder trucks were
decorated with flowers and flags and the
horses danced to the music of the musi
cians. J. S. Collins and staff headed the di
vision of secret societies and he was fol
lowed by the uniformed divisions of Odd
Fellows'and Knights of Pythias. Then
came the orators in carriages followed by
Battery "B."
The battery was dressed in its best
The boys went into camp in the state
house yard last night and today at inter
vals fired salutes from the big 12-pound
cannon. They were mounted in the
parade and their gatling gun and 12
pounder were drawn by horses, while
the officers were also mounted.
The old soldiers formed the big part
of the procession and marched, Topeka
Post first, followed by Fort Pillow Post
and Lincoln Post bringing up the rear,
all commanded by Willis Edson.
An interesting break in the long col
umn of Lincoln post was the miniature
cannon drawn by a team of small ponies
and carrying two little girls on the am
munition box.

CORBETT IN PARIS.
He Makes His First Appearance lie fore a
French Audience.
Paris, May 30. The coming of "Jim"
Corbett to Paris was heralded with big
posters bearing his familiar portrait and
the words, "Champion Du Mond."
The champion came across the chan
nel from Dover and arrived at the Grand
hotel Saturday night. A crowd of Paris
ian sports met Jiim at the sta
tion and escorted him to his hotel.
The channel trip upset Corbett's diges
tion, and when he reachei Paris he was
pretty nervous. He spoke well of his
reception in England,- although the im
pression among Parisians is that the play
of "Gentleman Jack" has been under a
"frost" in London.
"I did not see a hair of Charley Mitch
ell's while in London," said Corbett.
Jim's theatrical performance, while it
was received with plenty of cheer
ing, aud the fighter-actor was
recalled several times, was rather dis
appointing, his nervousness prevented
his doing himself justice, and he cut
short the bag punching part of the show
just as it was getting interesting.

THIRTY JEARS GOME
Since: the Civil War Came to
an End,
But Decoration Day Still Held in
High Resrard.
ALL OVER THE UNION
The Day is Remembered by the
People.
Confederate Graves Not Forgot
ten in Some Places.
Washington, D. C, May 30. Honors
to fhe memory of their beloved dead are
being paid throughout the country today
by - the. .. veterans of the Grand Army of
the Republic, and the surviving relatives
of those that fell in the great conflict of
the sixties. The day and the observance
is one distinctively American. Decora
tion Day has been one of the fixed
"Saint's Days" of the calendar of the
new world, and its observance bids fair
to be perpetuated for all time.
Foreign lands have had their wars
and their battles. Their armies
have gone through victories and defeat,
but in no other portion of the globe does
the sentiment of remembrance of those
that have died upon the field of conflict
at the mouth of the cannon, at the point
of .the - bayonet, on the heights and in
the trenches find a responsive recogni
tion in the hearts of the survivors.
There is no decoration day for the
heroes of the Crimea, no honoring of the
earth under which rests all that is mor
tal'of the brave men who fell on both
sides of ' Alsace-Lorraine in the early
seventies. Even in patriotic old England
the names of the gallant six hundred
that composed the light brigade are well
nigh forgotten, save for the archives of
the war office; while the few survivors of
that historic charge .are ending their
lives in poverty and poor houses, either
at home or on this side of the Atlantic.
America alone of all the nations of the
earth honors year by year her soldier
dead, and strews their last resting places
with fragrant flowers, while requiems
and patriotic hymns ascend to the skies,
and the hearts of the rising generation
are thrilled with orations breathing love
and devotion to the mother country.
DID NOT GO ' IS II I NO.
Cleveland Attends the Decoration Day
Ceremonies at Arlington.
Washington, M ay 30. The chief event
Decoration day about Washington was
the celebration at Arlington, where
countless thousands of the nation's dead
lie at rest, some beneath marble slabs
and in the shadow of the monument
to the "Unknown Dead." To this
great cemetery the grand army repaired
in force. They formed near their hall
on Peunsylvania avenue at 10:30 under
threatening sky they started on their
march for Arlington headed by a con
siderable body of the district militia.
The old veterans stepped out bravely to
the notes of bugles on the march that is
getting to be more arduous as the years
roll by.
The exercises at Arlington began at
12:30 o'clock and consisted of an oration
by Representative Jlartin of Indiana, the
delivery of a poem by Col. John A. Joyce
and an address by Representative Bryan
of Nebraska. Appropriate music was
furnished by the Marine band and the
Grand Army Musical union. President
Cleveland witnessed the celebration and
listened to the exercises from a promi
nent place in the large stand.
The floral display in the cemeteries
was particularly striking, for in addition
to the contributions of individuals and
societies, by order of President
Cleveland, the whole of the floral wealth
of the White House grounds were called
by the gardeners and used for the decor
ations of soldiers graves.
Col. Wilson, the superintendent of pub
lic buildings and grounds had so done
his part in selecting the choicest bios
Boms in the parks for the beautitication
of the soldiers monuments, with which
the city abounds.
On Cranio', Grave.
Chicago, May SO. A large number of
representative Irish-Americans went to
Calvary cemetery this morning and
.placed elaborate decorations on the
grave of Dr. P. H. Cronin. It was five
years last Friday since the enemies of
the martyred Irish-Patriot were laid to
rest in the presence of the greatest
throng ever gathered at a 'funeral in
Chicago,and on every succeeding Decor
ation day his friends have offered their
simple tribute to his memory.
Lthsrty Bell Tolled.
New York, May 30. From six o'clock
this morning, and throughout the day
the Columbian Liberty bell, which had

diction of the commonwealth against
aiding or abetting unlawful proceedinga
and commanding all persons engaged in
the riotous demonstrations to forth

their respective places of abode, warn
ing them that persistence in violation
will compel resort to such military force
as may be necessary to enforce obedi

GOV. OSBORN AT HOME.
He Betarni From His European, Trip
and Talks to a Reporter.
Ex-Gov. Thomas A. Osborn returned
yesterday from his visit together with C
C. Baker to the old world, where he has
spent the time since. the first of March.
Mr. Baker will return to Topeka later on.
Gov. Oiborn is full of interesting
things about the trip, and to a reporter
today he gave the following sketch of
his travels:
"We left New York February 24 on the
steamer Augusta Victoria, and first
landed at Gibralter, where we spent
part of a day. We next went to Algiers
and spent a night in that city, which we
found very interesting.
"We were a little curious to know
whether the representations in the Mid
way Plaisance, and especially the dances,
were correct and we found that they
were.
"From there we sailed from Naples
and spent several days in that locality in
the examination of the ruins of Pompeii
and the surroundings of Vesuvius.
"We then sailed for Alexandria, pass
ing through the Straits of Mes
sina, along the coast of Sicily, and
we took a look at Scylla and Charybdis.
We passed the volcano of Stromboli
which was in active operation and pre
sented a most startling appearance. We
also passed Mount Etna.
"After arriving at Alexandria we took
a train for Cairo where we remained
about two weeks.
"Our visit in Egypt was most delight
ful. The climate was all that could be
desired, the scenery was grand and the
hotels as good as the best in Europe, Of
course we visited the pyramids and
found them all they have been pic
tured. We visited the mosques and had
rides upon the Nile.
"The common people are the most
patient, uncomplaining, industrious and
temperate people I have ever seen. The
wages of a common laboring man are
from 7 to 12 cents a day and as he works
in the fields, he is so industrious that he
never turns around to look at a railroad
train as it passes.
"From Cairo we took a train for Port
Said, at the mouth of the Suez canal. In
making this trip we traveled one after
noon on the banks of the canal. At Port
Said we took a steamer for Jaffa, which
is the Joppa of the Bible. From there
we took a train to Jerusalum, and re
mained several days examining matters
of interest in that locality.
"From there we took horses for Jeri
cho, Dead Sea and river Jordan. While
we were at the Jordan we found .upward
of 1000 pilgrims from the Greek church
in 'Russia who were bathing in the river
to wash their sins away.
"I didn't go into the river. I didn't
think I needed it and was excused from
taking a bath that morning.
"One thing that struck me as peculiar
at Jerusalem was that so many things we
have read about in the scripture are so
cloje together. You find within the
walls of the church of the Holy Sepul
cher and within a few feet, Mt, Calvary,
where Christ was crucified, the slab where
his body was laid out after his crucifix
ion and his tomb. Within a few yards of
these we came across the sepulcher of
our old friend Adam.
"The mosque of Omar is within a
stone's throw. This is said to be built
upon the foundation of Solomon's tem
ple. We were shown through the base
ment of this mosque, which was once
the stable of King Solomon, and held
3,000 camels.
"We returned to Europe by the same
route we took in going over. From
Naples we went to Rome and spent ten
days examining works of art and the
ruins of ancient Rome.
"The Pope was ill and was not visible
to any one, so we did not see him. We
spent a day in the Vatican and St. Peter's
however.
"From Rome we went to Genoa where
we remained two days. We looked over
the home of Columbus and also
some other interesting places. We took
a train for Nice, where we spent a few
days. Monte Carlo is situated near Nice
and of course we went there once or
twice."
"How much did you lose?" queried the
reporter.
"On that point I ha,ve nothing to say.
We didn't break the bank. We didn't
even try to break the bank while we
were there.
"From Nice, we came to Paris by way
of Marseilles and Lyons. We remained
two weeks in Paris.
"We then went to London and received
many visits from friends whom we met.
On the 14th of this month we were en
tertained at Gravesend on board the
United States war ship Chicago. We
sailed for home on the ltith on the Teu
tonic" AT TOPEKA NEXT TIME.
The Commercial Travelers Will Visit
Topeka in 1895.
About thirty Topeka commercial trav
elers attended the annual grand lodge of
their union at Wichita this week, and re
turned flushed with victory, having
secured for Topeka the next annual
meeting, which will be held May 2 and 3,
1895. Wichita and Hutchinson both made
great efforts for the convention and the
Topeka delegates received the prize only
by a strong and persistent fight. Now
that Topeka has the convention the
question suggests itself, what shall be
done with it?
Something of the magnitude of this
organization can be realized from the
fact that 500 commercial travelers sat
down to the banquet tables and 3,000
people danced at the ball. At Wichita
it was held in the new auditorium which
was built largely through the ef
forts of the commercial men,
but Topeka has nothing big enough to
accommodate them. The local drum
mers will see that their guests are amply
entertained and taken care of however,
and they will be able to figure this prob
lem out before next May.
BIG SANTATE DEAL
A Bonanza With Millions In It
lor the Road.
A Great Steamship Line to
- Asia
To Connect the Siberian Trans
continental Railway
WITII THE SANTA FE.
All the Petroleum of the Old
World
To Be Transported on the Santa
Fe Lines.
San Diego, CaL, May 30. In connec
tion with the current stories outlining the
plans of Russian and American capital
ists to establish lines of steamers to be
operated on the Pacific in connection
with the great Russian railway soon to be
completed in Vladivostok, it is now as
serted here that the principal American
port for the steamship company will be
at San Diego.
It has heretofore been claimed that
capitalists there largely interested in the
Santa Fe, are closely identified with the
Russians in the scheme. Gen. Thomas
Sedgwick, San Diego's harbor engineer,
gave further information of the scheme
today. He states that since August last
he has been furnishing the interested
parties with technical aud complete in
formation concerning San Diego harbor.
He had been required, however, to keep
the matter secret.
Now, that he is free to talk, he gave
the substance of a letter recuntly re
ceived by him from a triend who is an
engineer connected with the land de
partment of the Santa Fe. His friend
informed him that representatives of the
Standard oil and the Russian oil com
pany have just leld a conference in Chi
cago with Ivan Gavelsky representing
the Amoor Navigation company of Vladi
vostok, for the purpose of organizing a
steamship line between the Russiau port .
and San Diego.
It is a well known fact that the Stand
ard oil company not a great while ago
formed a combination with the Russian
company for the purpose of controlling
the world's supply of petroleum. It is
claimed here that it is the plan
of these two great companies to ,
have the western part of the United
States supplied from the Russian wells,
an undertaking that would in reality be
more economical than the present meth
od, transporting oil across the conti
nent from Pennsylvania and Ohio..
The Amoor Navigation company is
owned by the principal owners of the
Siberian Transcontinental railroad, which
at present handles the greater portion of '
the oil output of the country.
The determination of the Oil combina
tion to establish a line to America, has
evidently caused the Santa Fe stockhold
ers to take advantage of the situation of
affairs and endeavour to secure the tre
mendous traffic which would naturally
follow the establishment of such a line
of steamships.
